That didn't work. I tried the W7 x64 ISO and used the key from the UL30 in a VirtualBox environment and no go.hold on a sec before you shell out £100.
I've installed Win 7 from a retail copy of Windows 7 Home edition, used the notebook key, and it worked for me. but it's not a OEM version, which could be your problem.
Also, 'apparently' you can download Windows Home edition (no hacks) from microsoft. Haven't tried though.

Basically, if you can grab a copy of Win 7 home edition retail (from friends, work, familly, microsoft...), and use the key under the laptop, you should be all right.
